Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Morning folks.....the good news is....no armed response team knocking down the door YET... I live to craft another day and thank you for all your lovely fun messages....they did make me smile.
The challenge this week over at Daring Cardmakers is set by my lovely Funky Hand teamie Kathy and dare I say is rather appropriate.......

And yes folks I am still in Tim Holtz and Hero Arts mode....my beloved Brushed Corduroy is in real danger of being replaced in my affections by the gorgeous new kid on the block...Pumice Stone....and I have a confession to make.....I bought this Hero Arts Cling stamp ages ago.....looked at it when I got it home and thought what I going to do with it.....took a while but eventually the old creative juices started flowing.....stamped and cut into 4 squares and it fitted in perfectly for this challenge.....if you are ever stuck for ideas with your Hero Arts stamps....you can always pop over to Hero Arts ..Hero Arts Blog or to the Hero Arts Flickr group....just type in the name of your particular stamp in the search box and voila.......fabulous instant inspiration from seriously talented Hero Arts designers and addicts.Edited to add: what a surprise....my card got a mention on Hero Arts twitter.....how chuffed am I.

And boy oh boy shock surprise.....we had serious snow showers yesterday ..fortunately melting as soon it hit the ground.... today it's chucking it down and oh so COLD...and after our morning stroll....it's time for a hot cuppa.....tiler will be arriving any minute and no doubt he will need a top up of tea before he starts....I am having a day in the kitchen...mega cookathon planned....staying within easy reach of the kettle ready for "any chance of a cuppa" which will no doubt be heard repeatedly throughout the day.

And look what popped through the letterbox yesterday......a sweet thank you card from the lovely Anesha.

Hi Kath. Love this card and how unique it looks - that flower is so gorgeous I don't think I could part with it!!!So pleased to see you're still 'at home' - enjoy your day in the kitchen (the whole house will smell so scrumptious the tiler will want to stay....)HugsHWx

Hiya Kath im so glad they havent carted you off yet but dont worry i will make a start on the Free the Kath banners just in case lol lol. Oh what a beautiful card such fab colours and details as always.

Kath-glad you've not been arrested your offence pales into wotsit compared with what my DH did.I don't drive and when I returned from a stampy do I rang him to come and get me-just get a taxi Mr money bags replies but when we finally the real reason-his driving licence was two years!!!!! out of date he should have renewed it when he was 70 but they don't remind you and he just happened to notice." We've had a lot of these lately the man at the DVLA said. Love the card as always Now must rush out and get some MORE TH ink Hugs BettyXXXX

Glad you liked the card and appreciate the hugs for you both! Also please to hear no one breaking down your door!!! :) We have beautiful sunshine here which is helping all my my veg seeds to germinate. Hope you get better weather soon. Hugs to you both. Anesha

This is gorgeous Kath love the effect you have achieved with the script stamp and DI, stunning. I meant to ask you before how are you getting on with your Promarkers? It is bitterly cold down here too although I did go bowling today. They are finally fixing the house Work starts on Monday so will probably not be around much. Hugs to Buddy, mwah Ali x
